SUMMARY:Oak Woodlands-SFE-CAFMS Joint Webinar: Changing Large Wildfire Regime Dynamics in the Eastern US
DESCRIPTION:Changing Large Wildfire Regime Dynamics in the Eastern US\n\nWhen: Oct. 7th\, 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET \nHosted by: Oak Woodlands and Forests Fire Consortium\, Southern Fire Exchange\, and Consortium of Appalachians Fire Managers and Scientists \nMore Information: https://umsystem.zoom.us/meeting/register/mvH72CZlS3y-IJq2SXO4yQ#/registration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Donovan will provide a summary of her lab’s ongoing research investigations into changes in large (>200 ha) wildfire activity across multiple scales in the eastern U.S. and the interacting factors affecting wildfire risk. Specifically\, we found shifting wildfire regime characteristics across south and central ecoregions in the east that include increasing wildfire number\, size\, and annual occurrence\, along with changes in wildfire seasonality.  Just under half of all wildfires burned within the wildland-urban interface (WUI)\, where the greatest risk to human life and property from wildfires exists. Increases in large wildfire are largely occurring outside the WUI\, though these wildfires tend to be closer to the WUI than expected at random. We find factors such as suppression potential\, weather conditions\, and patterns in woody cover influence the WUI-wildfire dynamic\, but relationships vary regionally. We also identified long-term increases in woody cover across eastern ecoregions\, linking higher levels of woody cover to heightened wildfire risk in multiple locations. Further investigations have found that woody cover interactions with short-term drought strongly predict large wildfire occurrence across numerous eastern ecoregions. While further research into the drivers of changing large wildfire patterns is needed\, we suggest the strategic application of fuels management along with the development of fire-resistant homes and buildings to enhance community resilience to wildfire in the east. \n\nPresenter: Dr. Victoria Donovan\, University of Florida

DESCRIPTION:Partner Webinar: Building Healthy Habitats and Reducing Wildfire Risk: Prescribed Burning in the SE\n\nWhen: Sept. 30th\, 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET \nHosted by: Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership \nMore Information and webinar registration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription: “Join us on September 30th at 1 pm ET for our next Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership Conservation Science Speaker event. Our speaker\, Shan Cammack\, Georgia DNR Wildlife Biologist\, Fire Management Officer for the Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources\, Chair of the Georgia Prescribed Fire Council\, and former Longleaf Partnership Council member\, will take a closer look at the role of prescribed fire in restoring and managing fire-adapted ecosystems in the Southeast. As Shan often says\, “The South is going to burn. Either we pick the day\, or Mother Nature picks the day.” Prescribed fire is more than land management. It’s conservation in action\, rooted in science\, ethics\, and community stewardship. We invite our partners\, landowners\, and the broader conservation community to join us in exploring how fire continues to shape the landscapes and wildlife we care about.💧🦌🦃” \n\n\nPresenter: \n\nShan Cammack: Georgia DNR Wildfire Resources Division

SUMMARY:SFE-CAFMS Joint Webinar: Historical Fire Regimes and Vegetation Patterns of the Blue Ridge and Vicinity
DESCRIPTION:Historical Fire Regimes & Vegetation Patterns of the Blue Ridge & Vicinity\n\nWhen: Sept. 25th\, 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET \nHosted by: Southern Fire Exchange and Consortium of Appalachians Fire Managers and Scientists \nMore Information: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_umDD9nGHS3OTDtXTpQ70ig#/registration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe boundary between the SFE and CAFMS regions is the eastern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Despite this administrative boundary and the striking topographic differences on either side of it\, the Blue Ridge and the western Piedmont share some commonalities—indeed\, some linkages—in their historical vegetation cover and fire regimes. This webinar will consider the history of fire and fire-dependent vegetation along the Blue Ridge escarpment as well as the greater Blue Ridge Mountains region (northern and southern Blue Ridge) and western Piedmont. Multiple historical and paleoecological datasets provide glimpses of past fire regimes on these landscapes and hint at the abundance and extent of fire-dependent vegetation. These datasets include early travelers’ accounts; witness trees from land surveys; old maps\, artwork\, and photographs; soil and sediment charcoal; and tree-ring data on tree ages and fire scars. Analyses of these records indicate that\, before fire prevention and suppression\, fires burned frequently over much of the area and maintained communities such as pine and oak woodlands and savannas. \n\nPresenter: Dr. Charles Lafon\, Professor of Geography at Texas A&M University

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Reshaping Wildfire and Fuels Reduction Information
DESCRIPTION:  \nHost: Southwest Ecological Restoration Institute\, Southwest Fire Consortium\, and the Joint Fire Science Program. \nSpeaker: Aidan Franko\, Aaron Kimple\, Patti Dappen\, Anson Call\, and Scott Franz of Northern Arizona University \nDescription: The Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes (SWERI) established the ReShape program in response to feedback from policymakers\, land managers\, and researchers. ReShape (www.reshapewildfire.org) compiles and displays national-scale data on forest treatments and wildfires through the Treatment and Wildfire Interagency Geodatabase (TWIG)\, a user-friendly\, collaborative\, and open-access decision support tool. Research efforts focus on four key areas: social science for collaborative decision-making\, biophysical effects of forest treatments\, data science for large dataset analysis\, and economic assessments led by the Conservation Economics Institute. At this critical stage\, ReShape is fostering dialogue on TWIG’s effectiveness while refining the tool to better support wildfire risk reduction efforts. This webinar will provide a tool demonstration\, lessons from case studies\, and a Q&A session to help researchers\, land managers\, and graduate students access and incorporate nationwide wildfire and fuel treatment data through the TWIG into their analyses for better understandings of fuel treatment effectiveness across boundaries. \nRegistration Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/-qEYXhl8Rqeu7KhiwBFmbQ#/registration

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Land Management by USFWS-SE
DESCRIPTION:**Rescheduled to May 8th due to technical difficulties immediately prior to the broadcast.** \nHost: US Fish and Wildlife Service\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, the University of Florida IFAS\, and the Joint Fire Science Program. \nSpeaker: Emily Link\, US Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast-Fire Ecologist \nDescription: Since 2020\, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast Fire Management Division has employed terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology to monitor hazardous fuels and habitat structure. In collaboration with various organizations and data scientists\, a comprehensive process has been developed to analyze\, display\, and visualize the resulting metrics and point clouds. This empirical data supports land management decisions and\, when paired with visual representations\, serves as an effective communication tool to inform stakeholders about the impact of management treatments\, such as prescribed fire. Additionally\, the 3D LiDAR data is being integrated into advanced fire modeling systems\, including QUIC-Fire\, to enhance wildland fire decision support capabilities. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration Link: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sMCQ9ro0RgONGdEpB8iF0w
